What Makes the Chernobyl Zone Interesting for the Tourists?

April 26, 1986… This date has changed the lives of millions of people and the existence of several countries. The explosion at the fourth reactor of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Station triggered drastic consequences, which will still be observed for centuries to come. This especially concerns the environmental contamination as well as the radiation threat for the humanity. In less than several weeks after the catastrophe, the radiation expanded across the territory of the former USSR, posing the invisible danger to the residents of several countries at a time.

Because of the potential threat, the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Station was immediately closed and thousands of people living on the territory surrounding it were forced to leave their dwellings in just a few hours after the explosion. The area around the Power Station was named the “30 km exclusion zone” and it is still closed for the visitors. This doesn’t mean, however, that the territory does not cause interest these days. Apart from the specialists, who still spend much time exploring the consequences of the disaster and their potential effect upon the environment and health of people, hundreds of tourists from all over the world have the urge to visit the location, which keep attracts them for dozens of years. So, what makes the tours to chernobyl so popular? Are they really safe for the visitors?

To answer the questions offered above, it’s important to realize the scale of the disaster and its effect upon the development of the whole civilization and several generations of people. As of today, the Chernobyl tragedy is considered the most serious and hectic ecological catastrophe in the world. The need to evacuate the local residents within such a short period of time resulted in leaving the territory as it is. Even though, more than 30 years have passed since the day of the disaster, almost all the objects in the abandoned places remained completely untouched, but affected by the lapse of time. To some extent, the location can even be compared to the abandoned island, where all the houses, schools, kindergartens, playgrounds, hospitals and other objects are engulfed by the wildlife and rich vegetation. These sceneries just cannot leave anyone untouched. So, no wonder, the amount of people, who wish to see the abandoned locations with their own eyes, keeps increasing with every passing day. This especially concerns young generation, the representatives of which have not witnessed the tragedy themselves, but have heard a lot about it.

Speaking about the radiation threat, it is not registered in locations, where the excursions take place. The experts of tourist agencies measure the radiation level along the pre-planned tour chernobyl routes to make sure nothing threatens the tourists. The conclusion is obvious: the choice of the tourist agency matters a lot when it comes to planning the chernobyl tour. If you are lucky to find the one that deserved the trust, then you will surely avail unforgettable memories that will last for a lifetime.

Holiday in Chernobyl: Tourism in the Exclusion Zone

Thirty years after the worst nuclear accident in history, Chernobyl has become a tourist attraction. Tens of thousands of people are believed to have died prematurely from the catastrophe which spread a radioactive cloud over Europe in 1986, but last year 17,000 people visited the so-called exclusion zone anyway.
VICE News sent Simon Ostrovsky to Chernobyl to find out just how safe it is to go there.

A 30-kilometer zone around the reactor has been opened to visitors and interest is growing.
While the world is deliberating on whether or not nuclear power should continue to exist there is rising interest in the Chernobyl exclusion zone in Ukraine.
The catastrophic Chernobyl nuclear plant disaster took place on 26-April 1986 in the city of Pripyat.
Interest in the exclusion zone attracted at least 9000-people last year from 80 countries worldwide.
Dmitry Bobro, Deputy Chairman for the Management Exclusion Zone.

The Ministry of Emergencies has developed special safe routes which include a visit to the abandoned City of Pripyat 3-kilometers from the station.
A trip to the Chernobyl exclusion zone will cost around 100-dollars and visitors must submit their application at least 10-days before their proposed visit.

Hostel in Chernobyl Exclusion Zone welcomes tourists

Hostel in Chernobyl Exclusion Zone welcomes tourists

(20 Jul 2017) LEADIN:
It might not be on everyone\'s bucket list, but some tourists are packing their bags to stay within Chernobyl\'s Exclusion Zone.
Thirty-one years after the biggest nuclear disaster in history, a new hostel inside the heavily-guarded exclusion zone is welcoming overnight visitors.
STORYLINE:
Welcome to the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone.
On April 26 1986, an explosion and fire at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine (then part of the Soviet Union) caused radioactive fallout to begin spewing into the atmosphere.
The explosion and the subsequent fire caused a radioactive plume over much of northern Europe.
Dozens of people were killed in the immediate aftermath of the disaster while the long-term death toll from radiation poisoning is believed to number in the thousands.
About 600,000 people, often referred to as Chernobyl\'s \"liquidators,\" were sent in to fight the fire at the nuclear plant and clean up the worst of its contamination.
Thirty workers died either from the explosion or from acute radiation sickness within several months.
The accident exposed millions in the region to dangerous levels of radiation and forced a wide-scale, permanent evacuation of hundreds of towns and villages in Ukraine and Belarus.
There are around 70 residents, most of them elderly, who refused to be evacuated and remained in their homes in their houses in Exclusion Zone.
The disaster shone a spotlight on lax safety standards and government secrecy in the former Soviet Union. The explosion was not reported by Soviet authorities for two days, and then only a...

Today we take a trip out of Kyiv and enter the Exclusion Zone, home to such towns as Chernobyl and Pripyat. This is highly restricted area than can only be visited with government permission. Such permissions have been granted to authorised tour companies. A valid passport is also needed for entry.

Thirty years after the Chernobyl nuclear accident, people are still restricted from resettling the evacuation area, dubbed the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. The absence of humans has created an opportunity for nature to thrive. A new study using remote cameras reveals abundant populations of gray wolves

Nearly 25 years after a reactor at the Soviet-era plant exploded, the irradiated zone around Chernobyl is attracting curious visitors from around the world, from nuclear specialists to ordinary tourists, willing to pay 120 euros a day for a guided tour.Duration: 01:55
